Hiking
With over 30 miles of existing trails, hiking opportunities abound in San Francisco's natural areas. The following parks have excellent hiking trails: Glen Canyon Park, Bernal Hill, Lake Merced, Bayview Park, Buena Vista Park, Corona Heights, Grandview Park, Golden Gate Park: Oak Woodland, India Basin Shoreline Park, McLaren Park, Mount Davidson, Pine Lake, and Twin Peaks. Please stay on existing trails. Taking short cuts is dangerous and causes trail erosion.
Some of these trails link to the Bay Area Ridge Trail, which will ultimately be a 500-mile trail encircling San Francisco Bay along the ridge tops and with connections to the California Coastal Trail. For more information, visit ridgetrail.org and californiacoastaltrail.info.
